TIE ENGLISH SPARROW is conceded
TO be an insufferable pest, with no redeem
ing virtues. But how to get rid Of the
bother is another thing. We learn from
cur farmer friends that its depredations
upon all kinds Of seed is fearful. One
gentleman informed rs that the sparrows
had destroyed not less than two bushels of
clover seed, a large quantity of millet,
stripped his currant bushes. of their leaves
last summer, preyed upan all kinds of
small fruit and the vines that bore it.
Not only this, but it fights away all the
useful birds and takes possession of the
farm and yard, with no other fowl able to
defend itself or to question its claim.
What is to be done with the pugnacious,
destructive little bother is the question.
They are multiplying so rapidly that it is
becoming serious matter how to dispose
of them and stop their ruinous depreda
tions.

OF course Mi. Blaine has as much right

It is evident that he has a discriminatiye
appreciation for foreign products. He has
said to have laid in o fine store of Scotch
tweeds for his wardrobe, purchased on
his recent visit to Perth mills. To this
stock he intends adding many useful
articles Of wearing apparel. the proteo-
tive duties on which make them expen-
sive luxuries at home. Ii the latest
change in his plans is purposeful. and
II he remains abroad until next summer
he will be enabled under the foreign res
sidence elanse to pass his purchases with

penses under this dispensation.
